Making the Team Mr Tim J Kreiter

According to the Carnegie Institute, human engineering skills account for 85% of one's success on the job. The same holds true for one's success in high school and college. That should not be surprising, when you consider that most jobs in industry and many activities in school require teamwork. Being liked helps put you on the team and on the path to success no matter where you are. Unfortunately, public schools offer few, if any courses that address human engineering skills. Consequently, too many children emerge from school with an "I win, you lose" mentality, which dramatically reduces their chances of attaining success among fellow students or future coworkers. "Making the Team; Pathway to Success" addresses some important (often critical) human engineering skills. Each chapter gives students a glimpse of a new concept at a depth meant to enlighten, but not overwhelm the reader. Questions and exercises are included to help students better understand and apply the positive principles to their lives. The author asserts that one's most valuable possessions are those which, when shared, multiply rather than diminish. In "Making the Team: Pathway to Success," the author shares accumulated knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of many of the world's most respected authors, philosophers, leaders, and thinkers from Aristotle to Carnegie, and he "places the cookies on the bottom shelf." Who might benefit from studying "Making the Team: Pathway to Success"? Public schools, parochial schools, and academies may use this text within their existing Pathfinders or AVID programs. Home-schools across America (and abroad) will find that this book will nicely supplement their curricula. Finally, leaders of prison ministries may utilized this book as a study guide for rehabilitating prison inmates. Regardless of age or rung on the educational ladder, the author invites you to enjoy and profit from "Making the Team: Pathway to Success," and reminds you that "the mind, once stretched by new ideas, never returns to its original dimension."
